Muslims Sending Inappropriate Photos on WhatsApp: A Question of Faith and Understanding

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Muslims are using whatsapp to send photos of themselves, their children, non Mahrams and people at weddings to others. Surely even the most basic Muslim must understand that this is unacceptable. Can Hazrat enlighten us, in order that we may understand the mentality, as to why Muslims would do such a thing? Do they not love Allah? Are they not afraid of Allah?

Bismillaah

A: We have prepared a book on this topic which explains the Shar’ee ruling of photography. You may refer to it http://ihyaauddeen.co.za/?p=3394

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
